Editor's summary:

United States — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced this week a new service that should help its frontline personnel to identify counterfeit goods and prevent them from entering the U.S.

The service allows trademark and copyright holders to electronically provide CBP with product identification guides. Previously these guides had to be printed. CBP says the new system will make the in-depth resources readily available to all CBP personnel involved in intellectual property rights enforcement.
